Why I Give
By Esther Powers
I am a retired, senior citizen and do not have much money to spare, so I give to the Lambi Fund of Haiti. When I first heard about Lambi Fund, I was instantly drawn to the way they operate. Their work is principled in the old parable, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will have fish for a lifetime."
With limited means to give, I want to make sure my gift makes the most impact as possible — and Lambi Fund makes this happen.
I love knowing that a family will get a goat for milk and at some time may have a whole herd of goats, all because of my gift. Hard-working families in Haiti get so much more than just a hand out for a day. Families and communities are provided with the resources and training they need to change their everyday realities. To me, that is the greatest feeling there is.
Helping a family become self-sufficient and make an honest living is exactly what I want to do with my donation.
